Beginning August 29 at 9 a.m., all participants must register through MyHSHS online medical records portal. Those wanting to attend must preregister for an appointment online through MyHSHS, powered by MyChart, a free online personal health records system that individuals  can access securely from their home computer, laptop or mobile device.
 
Registration will close at the end of day Friday, Sept. 12, or when all appointments are filled. There are limited spots available and on-site registration will not be accepted. For assistance, please call 618-526-5356.
 
The health fair is a self-pay service. No payments will be taken at the time of preregistration; payment will be expected the day of the health fair by credit card, check written out to HSHS or cash. Please arrive at your scheduled time with exact cash or a check written out totaling the amount of health fair services you have scheduled.
 
St. Joseph’s Hospital will not bill insurance plans for any services rendered. You may submit your health fair receipt to your insurance plan, but St. Joseph’s Hospital will not be able to provide an insurance claim.
 
HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital will post results to attendees’ MyHSHS accounts. No test results will be mailed or faxed to a participant’s health care provider. The responsibility for initiating follow-up examinations for abnormalities identified at the health fair lies with attendees and not with any participating organization.
 
Participants should park in the main parking lot located off Holy Cross Lane and enter through the medical office building, located west of the main entrance.
